Right now I'm focusing on making our tests "pass", that is, not fail horribly on non-x86 platforms that they were never designed for. At the moment it's hard to tell whether anything actually failed, because everything is red all the time, so my first priority is to get to a state where we can detect real failures. Once we're there we can start looking at enabling these tests on more architectures, but it doesn't really make sense to do that before. -- Thanks, Sasha
